The zip code 13424 in Oriskany, New York, is classified as a "Low Diversity" area as of 2022. The population is predominantly white, comprising 86% of the residents, with a median income of $71,792. This classification provides a basis for understanding the demographic and economic characteristics of the area.
Over the past decade, Oriskany has maintained its "Low Diversity" classification. However, subtle changes in racial composition have occurred. The white population decreased from 92% in 2013 to 86% in 2022. The Asian population increased from 0% to 4%, and the Black population grew from 2% to 3% during the same period. The Hispanic population also saw a slight increase from 2% to 4%. These changes indicate a slow but gradual diversification of the community.
The demographic shifts correlate with fluctuations in median income. The median income has shown significant variations, decreasing from $65,479 in 2013 to $56,306 in 2017, before rising to $71,792 in 2022. Since 2019, there has been a substantial increase in median income, rising by approximately 17% from $61,508 to $71,792 in 2022. Concurrently, the population has decreased from 3,140 in 2013 to 2,896 in 2022, a decline of about 7.8%.
The increasing median income coupled with a declining population suggests that while some residents may be experiencing improved economic conditions, others might be relocating, possibly due to economic pressures or in search of opportunities elsewhere.
The gradual increase in diversity in Oriskany aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity in many communities, although at a much slower pace than in many urban areas. The recent increase in median income may reflect broader economic recovery trends seen in many parts of the U.S. following the COVID-19 pandemic. The decreasing population in Oriskany contrasts with the overall population growth in many U.S. regions, particularly in urban and suburban areas. This trend might be more typical of rural or small-town communities in parts of the Northeast and Midwest.
Oriskany remains a "Low Diversity" area but shows signs of slow demographic change. The community is experiencing economic improvements in terms of rising median income, but faces challenges with a declining population. These trends suggest a community in transition, balancing traditional demographics with gradual diversification and economic fluctuations.
